Suburban Mayors and Presidents Continue Push Against Redistricting Plan

The Intergovernmental Cooperation Council, a group of Milwaukee County mayors and village presidents that includes Greendale president John Hermes, will hire a lawyer to help fight the county board's redistricting plan, according to a Journal Sentinel report.

Municipal leaders have criticized the plan for consolidating "power in the hands of nearly all of the incumbents to the detriment of minority groups, historic community representations and the interests of the general public."
